CNBC Stock Screener This "search engine" identifies stocks that meet certain metrics. Preset screens apply some common investing strategies: "Solid Stocks, Solid Companies", "S&P Dogs", "High Quality, High Dividends", "Small Cap Value" and "Large Cap Growth”. Our GHC DECA competitors will use this tool to create their own set of search parameters with high Beta being given considerable weight in the stock selection process. Select "Create Custom Screen”. Then use the custom search settings available from the drop-down menu. Go to “Company Overview” from the drop down options to set up Beta screening.
Ameritrade Fund Comparison Tool : This search engine allows users to input an index ticker symbol, and the engine outputs a chart that compares five similar funds with the input fund.
